why does everybody dislike RAINBOW?

[Wertica]

I just bought RAINBOW 2 hours ago, and just finished listening it. I like it, but really not as much as MY STORY. RAINBOW and MY STORY are the only original Ayu albums I have. I think that I will like it more after I've listened to it couple of times. But it wasn't bad! I only disliked Over & Everywhere nowhere. And the cover art is beeeautiful<3. This album was very relaxing.

^all these songs have EXCELLENT musical composition/arrangement. All the rest are not bad either!

Maybe for me it's because it has so many songs I hardly listen. I don't really like songs like Dolls, Close to you, independent... But on the other hand, it has so many amazing songs, like Heartplace, Free & easy, Real me.. It's not my favourite album but not my least favourite either.

I don't understand why some people don't like Ayu's english. I love it! I'm always so excited when she speaks or sings english, I always hope for her new songs to have english. Maybe some people think it's so unoriginal or something, because almost everyone does it. But I think it's nice to actually understand what she sings or especially when she speaks. I'm not that good in Japanese, so I don't understand much if I don't read the translations. I still love Japanese songs, but sometimes I have days when I'm just tired of listening something I don't understand.

^ Ayu's English has more meaning than just fluff to sound cool. So I think Ayu is being really orginal ^_^

woman could be having fun
woman could be like a nun
^I love those lines! Ayu plays with words well~

And also the English in the intro to everywhere nowhere, is really good too.
The freedom we have
The choices we make
The sacrifice we pay
Make life so complicated
^Very true

Also I like Ayu's pronounciation of "Over" in the song "Over"~ It's over! lol.
